Mental suffering before the race. I knew it was going to be a butt-kicker by the teams that showed up. I about died at the finish.

i will be running the choad wheelset this season, too.

60mm carbon clincher in the front, 25mm alloy clincher in the rear.

I do imagine that the choad set-up is only temporary for you, though. Am i right?

You are correct. I'll be a Psimet rider this year, much more balanced

I think the bike with those wheels looks like a little kid with giant shoes on. But whatever, it was fast

you missed your comic beats.

Try reading it out loud, but drop the "but I really have to pee!". See if it doesn't read better

Fine.

It's now a joint Kudude RTC submission:

"I wonder how absorbent these chasmois' are cause I'm trying really hard to hold it in!"

It's hard to multitask man. I just realized that I have to learn material for an entire test I didn't know about, by thursday at 6 AM...
Then some review in San Fran on thurs afternoon on, friday afternoon on, and saturday pre test. I'm ****ed.

Won the sprint in slow mo, over geared, dying a thousand deaths.



Both from MJStuart photography (not yet posted there), both should be on Truesport.com soon.

I have to work harder in the race in the upcoming weeks.

This is the stuff I have to put up with :



Ryan attacked early. Rode everyone off his wheel. Was 1:45 ahead of the pack. Charlie (L) and John P (R) attacked the group on the last lap. Rode everyone else of their wheel. Chased Ryan, caught him, and they all rode to victory. WTH!?!?!

Yup. Tons of strong guys. The POA team turned out in numbers in this series too. Great race experience and training if nothing else.

I told you what you needed to do a while back. You could have been at least 3rd.

no disrespect to sub at all, but those guys are super strong. when charlie (or ryan, or jp) decides to go, it's tough to board the train before it's already arriving at the next station.
